CALIBRATION LOOK-UP LINKS

To determine if an ECU update is available, connect the BDM Scan Tool (or another tool capable of reading the vehicle’s PCM calibration code) to the OBDII port and navigate to the vehicle information section. Select Calibration ID (for GM) or PCM Part Number (for all other manufacturers) and record this number. Users will use this number to compare to the numbers found on the OEM websites, as instructed below:

    GM

Enter the VIN number in the “VIN” Field and click “Get CAL ID” button. If the part number read on the scan tool is different from that on the webpage, the vehicle requires an update.

    HONDA / ACURA

To determine if a Honda or Acura vehicle requires an update you will need access to Honda TSB information via either the Honda Service website (https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.asp) or a third party service information provider (i.e. Mitchell 1, All Data, Motor, etc.). All flash updates are associated with a TSB. A Honda or Acura ECM should only be re-flashed as a result of a TSB instruction to do so.

    NISSAN / INFINITI

To determine if a Nissan vehicle requires an update you will need access to Nissan TSB information via either the Nissan Service website (http://www.nissan-techinfo.com) or a third party service information provider (i.e. Mitchell 1, All Data, Motor, etc.). All flash updates are associated with a TSB. A Nissan or Infiniti ECM should only be re-flashed as a result of a TSB instruction to do so.
